2024届辽宁省高考扣题模拟英语试卷(二)一、阅读理解A study published in the journal Nature lists some hybrid (杂种的) species that could become prevalent (盛行的) in the ocean due to climate change. Here are four of those hybrid species.“Brolar” bears — Brown bears and polar bearsEvidence of a hybrid species born from brown bears and polar bears has been found in the United States and Canada in the past.Known as “Polar bears” or “Pizzlies”, they have a mostly white coat, with a brownish hue and a nose that is a cross between a polar bear and a brown or grizzly bear.They are known to be more suited to warmer temperatures than their Arctic relative, as they do not rely so heavily on sea ice for hunting.“Narlugas” — Narwhals (独角鲸) and beluga whales (白鲸)In 1990, a hunter in West Greenland discovered an interesting skull, which appeared to be that of a beluga whale-narwhal hybrid. It wasn’t until 2019 that DNA analysis confirmed that the creature was indeed 54% beluga from its father, and 46% narwhal from its mother.Experts believe that the hybrid may have been grey in color and possessed a tail like a narwhal but forward flippers like those of a beluga whale.Hybrids of harp seals and hooded seals Numerous species of Arctic seal are expected to mate (交配) to form hybrid offspring due to diminishing sea ice. This includes a hybrid of the harp seal and hooded seal, which both breed on pack ice of the North Atlantic Ocean and extend into the Arctic Ocean in summer months.A hybrid animal, found in the Gulf of St. Lawrence in Canada, was formally reported and confirmed by molecular analysis in 1997.“Harbor-Dall” porpoise (鼠海豚) — Harbor porpoises and Dall’s porpoisesHybrids of the harbor porpoises and the Dall’s porpoises have been found off the coast of British Columbia, Canada. Harbor porpoises are thought to be in decline due to habitat disturbance, meaning they may turn to other species to mate with.Experts believe more harbor porpoises will move north as temperatures rise, which will further increase their chances of breeding with Dall’s porpoises.1.What do the four listed animals have in common?A.They share the same color.B.They are born due to the polar cold.C.Their parents come from different species.D.Sea ice is extremely important for them to hunt.2.Which animal can’t be found in Canada?A.“Brolar” bears.B.“Narlugas”.C.Hybrids of harp seals and hooded seals.D.“Harbor-Dall” porpoise.3.In which section of the Internet can we find this text?A.Economy.B.Education.C.Entertainment.D.Environment.On July 29, 10-year-old Mayah Zamora went home after being hospitalized for 66 days. Mayah was a survivor of the May 24 shooting rampage at Robb Elementary in Uvalde, Texas.The little girl had more than 20 surgeries and underwent weeks of physical therapy after being shot in her hands, chest and back during the school shooting. Mayah’s doctors have called her survival miraculous.On August 24, she was honored as the Hero of the Month for August by MLB’s Houston Astros at a game against the Minnesota Twins, where she threw out the first pitch. While there, Mayah also met former Astros shortstop (游击手) Carlos Correa, who shared some incredible news with her family.The Zamoras learned during the game that the Correa family Foundation and other donors are funding the construction of a new home for the family in a location they chose. The trauma (创伤) of living just blocks from the gunman’s house had been taking a toll on (给……造成重大损伤) the young survivor.“I could never begin to imagine everything she has gone through, and we feel that this is one thing we could do to try to alleviate some of her pain,” Correa said. “I’m thankful to both teams for being a part of this effort.”His foundation shared a statement and some great photos of Mayah’s special night at the ballpark on its Facebook page.“We are so proud of you. Mayah, and we are honored to recognize you as our Hero of the Month,” wrote the Correa Family Foundation. “We hope this will be an opportunity for Mayah and her family to rebuild their lives, make new memories, and look towards a bright future.”4.Why did the Correa family Foundation and other donors fund a new home for the Zamoras?A.Because the Zamoras didn’t want to live in their home.B.Because Correa wanted to reward Mayah for her bravery.C.Because the Zamoras’ home was near the gunman’s house.D.Because the Zamoras’ home had been destroyed by the gunman.5.Which of the following can replace the underlined word “alleviate” in Paragraph 5?A.Ease.B.Suffer.C.Delay.D.Confirm. 6.Which of the following can best describe Correa?A.Selfish.B.Caring.C.Determined.D.Responsible. 7.What is the text?A.A diary entry.B.A news report.C.A book review.D.A moving story.Scientists have known for years that plants respond to sounds around them. For example, flowers make sweeter nectar (花蜜) to the sound of buzzing bees. But now scientists in Israel have shown that plants also seem to be doing some “talking”.Professor Lilach Hadany and her team at Tel Aviv University set up microphones to record tomato and tobacco plants under different conditions. Their recordings revealed that the plants made ultrasonic sounds (超声波) .It’s not clear how the plants make the sounds. One idea is that air bubbles (气泡) form inside the plant’s stem, and that these popping bubbles make a clicking sound. It’s also not clear if the plants are making the sounds on purpose. Sometimes people’s knees creak, too, but they’re not doing it on purpose.But the plants are definitely making noise, and creating much more noise when they’re stressed than when they’re not.In fact, the researchers trained an Artificial Intelligence (AI) system to identify the different kinds of clicking sounds. The system was able to tell the difference between plants that needed water and plants with cuts about 70% of the time.The result suggests that researchers may one day be able to use a plant’s sounds to figure out when it is having trouble, and what trouble it is having. They hope that could be very helpful to farmers.The new discovery raises many more questions. One important question is: Do plants make sounds to communicate with each other?Other research has shown that plants do seem to communicate in some ways. Plants being attacked by insects send chemicals into the air. Soon, nearby plants that haven’t been attacked yet start to make other chemicals that don’t taste good to insects. It’s possible that the ultrasonic sounds could work in a similar way.Another big question is: Is anything listening to the plants? Dr. Hadany points out that mice and moths, for example, depend on plants, and can hear ultrasonic frequencies. The clicks may tell these animals when a plant isn’t healthy, so they can avoid it.The team’s research has already changed our ideas about plants. As Dr. Hadany says, “Even in a quiet field, there are actually sounds that we don’t hear, and those sounds carry information.”8.Why does the author mention flowers in Paragraph 1?A.To prove plants can hear the sounds.B.To show plants make ultrasonic sounds.C.To make a comparison with other plants.D.To arouse the readers’ interest in the text. 9.How do the plants possibly communicate with each other?A.The plants convey information by touch.B.The attacked plants make ultrasonic sounds.C.The attacked plants send poor-taste chemicals.D.The wind blows the odor of the attacked plants.10.What’s the purpose of the researchers?A.To prove plants can talk.B.To make a new discovery.C.To promote plants’ better growth.D.To have more knowledge of plants. 11.Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?A.Plants “Talk”B.Amazing PlantsC.Ultrasonic “Dances”D.Wonderful SoundsXZERO, “World’s Most Walkable City” Will Be Built in Kuwait Do you fancy giving up your car for good, but are worried you won’t be able to get around?Plans have been released for the “world’s most walkable city”.Dubbed XZERO, the planned sustainable community in Kuwait would provide a net zero carbon lifestyle for 100, 000 residents, in balance with nature. All facilities and homes will be powered by 100 per cent renewable energy and will recycle all their water with smart water system.UAE-based designers URB say the city will provide food and energy security while promoting a green circular economy. The estimated cost of the project is £13 billion, and URB are aiming to start construction in 2024, to complete by 2034.The central area is surrounded by a series of “hubs” (枢纽) , each dedicated to education, entertainment and medical facilities. The hubs will reduce the walking distances required of residents, while the homes are densely spaced to promote a connected community. The green-tech hub will promote a collaborative innovative environment in food, energy, water and water tech. The medical hub will feature an autism (自闭症) village, wellness center and clinics. The educational hub will feature a nursery, school and an institute, while the commercial hub will include indoor mall and flexible office space. The green landscape is designed with engineered natural areas to provide a variation of habitats for wildlife as well as rain water harvesting, mitigating (和缓的) flooding, better air quality and cleaner water. The 1, 600 hectare development will provide 30, 000 residential units, as well as 30, 000 green jobs. These jobs will be created in the various hubs.“The creation of sustainable cities that follow the highest standards of living with lowest impact on the environment is no longer a choice, it has become a necessity,” Baharsh Bagherian, the CEO of URB, said, “The heart of XZERO is the unique resilient (弹性的) landscape, which is multifunctional and designed to promote health, wellbeing and biodiversity.”XZERO will promote sustainable tourism through its various eco-friendly hospitality assets, including a 5-star eco resort and eco lodges. “Edutainment” (寓教于乐型) facilities such as the utility park and nature conservation center are expected to transform the city into a unique visitor attraction.12.What is XZERO intended to do?A.Better residents’ life.B.Save the limited energy.C.Explore a challenging lifestyle.D.Strengthen the power of Kuwait.13.What can we know from Paragraph 4?A.Wild animals can’t be found.B.The hubs are closely connected.C.Only indoor mall is available.D.Residents have trouble finding a job. 14.What can be inferred from Baharsh Bagherian’s words?A.People have the right to say no to XZERO.B.Many other countries are expected to follow suit.C.XZERO will promote the development of tourism.D.XZERO can benefit both humans and environment.15.Which of the following best describes the impact of XZERO?A.Doubtful.B.Short-lived.C.Far-reaching.D.Unidentifiable.How to Become a Morning PersonEveryone knows that early to bed and early to rise is good for health. 16 Here are some ways you can focus on that can help you become a better morning person.Shift your bedtime.17 Most people should aim for at least seven hours a night — so you’ll probably need to inch your bedtime forward as you transition (过渡) to a new schedule. You could fall straight into getting up at your desired time every day, knowing that you’ll feel tired during the transition but will naturally start falling asleep earlier within a few weeks.Relax before bed.Don’t watch TV or fiddle around (摆弄) with laptops right before you go to bed because they are shining light into your eyes and maybe even tricking your brain into thinking that it’s earlier than it really is. 18 Try not to do anything too stimulating before bed, and instead focus on relaxing activities like taking a bath or listening to comfortable music.19The secret to becoming a morning person is exposure to bright light. That’s because light suppresses (抑制) melatonin, a hormone (激素) that plays an important role in circadian (昼夜) rhythm. Natural light is the best, so get outside or open your bedroom window.Make mornings more pleasant.Try to schedule something to look forward to in the morning so that getting up feels likeless hard. Perhaps a hot cup of coffee, sipped in silence, and the daily crossword puzzle. 20 A.Lighten up.B.Work up a sweat.C.It’s important to make sure you’re getting enough sleep.D.But many people have great difficulty in getting up early.E.It’s hard to stop surfing the internet late at night if you’re a night owl.F.Make sure the light around you is not too bright when it’s close to your bedtime. G.Knowing that something pleasant awaits can help you take that first painful step out of bed.二、完形填空Sharaine Caraballo and her husband Wilson met 82-year-old Paul Callahan in March last year when Wilson began working on their recently purchased home. Paul offered Wilson a ladder to work with. From then on, it didn’t take very long for the family of eight and their new neighbor to become 21 .A retired Texas Instruments manager, Paul’s wife sadly passed away six months before the family moved into the neighborhood. Sharaine thinks her family 22 an important refuge (慰藉) for Paul.“One of my biggest 23 was meeting our new neighbors.

As much as Paul has helped the family, Sharaine thinks her familyplayed an important role in the months that followed the passing of Paul’s wife.“I asked what 32 him to us and he said he was a very 33 person and that he grew up around lots of kids,” Sharaine said. “That’s 34 I grew up. My house was always where everybody 35 out.” He’s also the last of his siblings (兄弟姐妹), who have all passed away.The Caraballos and Paul now see each other every other day.

In the Cambridgeshire village where he is currently working, it is easy to spot a thatched cottage.Chris guides me to a couple of chairs where we can talk. “There is no thatching without mess,” he says cheerfully. “A rethatch takes my assistant and me around 10 weeks, so it’s important that customers feel comfortable having us around,” he says.Chris is also sensitive to the cultural heritage (遗产) of his craft (手艺). “If you ask tourists to think of traditional English things, they will probably say thatched cottages and afternoon tea.” In the past 200 years, little has changed in terms of technique. “My great-grandfather would recognize the methods we use,” says Chris.Though the principles of the craft are simple, they are hard to perfect. “Every roof is different; the skill of a good thatcher is adapting the material to a cottage so that it looks neat and smooth.” Individual craftsmen also develop their styles. “I can drive around, see a“One might expect the industry to be in decline. On the contrary, there is a surprisingly healthy demand for new-builds. In addition, 97 percent of thatched properties are listed, so they have to remain thatched and be rethatched. The National Society of Master Thatchers has around 150 members and most of the thatchers who retire are replaced by young thatc hers,” Chris adds.4.Which word can best describe Chris according to paragraph 2?A. Considerate.B. Courageous.C. Cool-minded.D. Strong-willed.5.What does Chris tell us about thatched cottages?A. They are typically English.B. They can be built in the pouring rain.C. Their appearance has changed greatly.D. Their building methods differ from those of the past.6.What does Chris suggest by saying “So-and-so did that”?A. Craftsmen are not fond of learning.B.

It will be embarrassing.B. It will be uncertain.C. It will be stressful.D. It will be promising.An era in which an Alzheimer’s diagnosis can begin in a doctor’s office is now arriving. The new technology can detect early signs of disease from a blood sample, which is helping doctors to identify the memory-robbing disorder more accurately.Last fall, a blood test developed by C2N Diagnostics in St. Louis, Mo. , became available to most of the U.S. as a routine lab test. It has also received a CE mark as a diagnostic medical device in the European Union —indicating it has met safety, health and environmental protection standards for the region.The C2N test, called PrecivityAD, uses an analytic technique to detect specific types of B-amyloid, a protein fragment that is a pathological (病理学的) feature of disease. B-amyloid proteins accumulate and form plaques (斑块) visible on brain scans two decades before a patient notices memory problems. As plaques build up in the brain, levels of ß-amyloid decline in the surrounding fluid.Such changes can be measured in spinal fluid (脊髓液) samples — and now in blood, where ß-amyloid concentrations are significantly lower. PrecivityAD is the first blood test forcould enable early detection of the leading disease — perhaps decades before the onset of the first symptoms.8.According to the passage, which can help doctors identify Alzheimer’s?A. hair.B. blood.C. skin.D. tongue. 9.What is the function of B-amyloid in the brain?A. To decline in the surrounding fluid.B. To form plaques visible on brain scans.C. To accumulate and cause memory problems.D. To serve as a pathological feature of disease.10.What does the underlined word “assays” in paragraph 4 mean?A. Tests.B. Trials.C. Treatments.D. Analysis. 11.What does the author think of the PrecivityAD?A. Indifferent.B. Doubtful.C. Supportive.D. Pessimistic.Americans do not believe their personal information is safe online, suggests findingsfrom a new poll (民意调查). They are also not satisf ied with the federal government’s efforts to protect such information.The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research and Meri Talk did the polling. It found that 64 percent of Americans say their social media activity is not secure. About as many have the same safety concerns about online information that shares their physical location. Half of Americans also believe their private text messages are not secure.They are not just concerned. They want the federal government to do something about it. Almost 75 percent of Americans say they support creating laws for how companies can collect, use and share personal data.A majority of those who took part in the poll said they have more trust in private companies than the federal government to address security and privacy issues. This comes even after years of hacks (黑客) of U. S. corporations that shared the personal information of millions of people around the world.The poll answers showed that about 71 percent of Americans believe that individ uals’ data privacy should be treated as a national security issue. But only 23 percent are satisfied with the federal government’s current efforts.The law follows similar measures passed in California and Virginia, and gives people the right to find and delete personal information. Colorado’s law also permits people to choose out of having their data tracked and sold. Facebook and other companies opposed the bill.The poll showed that protecting personal information online is “an area where people do see a direct role in government,” Benz said.12.What percentage of Americans think their private text messages are not safe?A. 36 percent.B. 50 percent.C. 64 percent.D. 75 percent.13.What do almost 75 percent of Americans support according to the poll?A. Creating laws for companies to deal with personal data.B. Allowing personal data to be treated as a business issue.C. Giving private companies more control over data privacy.D. Trusting the federal government to fix the problem for them.14.Who do Americans have more trust in to solve security and privacy issues?A. Themselves.B. Social media platforms.C. Private companies.D. The federal government.15.What is the best title for the text?A. Americans are not safe online.B. Americans are trying to protect themselves online.C. Americans have little trust in the federal government.D. Americans have little trust in online security.二、七选五16.How to make Chinese pancakesChinese pancakes, also known as “spring pancakes”, can be used in many differ ent ways in Chinese cooking.

新核心综合学术英语教程第二册 Unit 4
The Manhattan Project • The Manhattan Project was a research and development project that produced the first atomic bombs during World War II. It was led by the United States with the support of the United Kingdom and Canada. From 1942 to 1946, the project was under the direction of Major General Leslie Groves of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The Army component of the project was designated the Manhattan District; "Manhattan" gradually superseded the official codename, Development of Substitute Materials, for the entire project. Along the way, the project absorbed its earlier British counterpart, Tube Alloys. The Manhattan Project began modestly in 1939, but grew to employ more than 130,000 people and cost nearly US$2 billion. Over 90% of the cost was for building factories and producing the fissile materials, with less than 10% for development and production of the weapons. Research and production took place at more than 30 sites across the United States, the United Kingdom and Canada.

Part I Read and KnowIn this part, you will read some questions about your abilities or personalities. Read as fast as you can and choose the answer that you think best describes yourself.Are You Charismatic?Charisma is the magnetic power that attracts people to you. It won’t affect the qu ality of your work or provide you with wonderful original ideas, but it remains one of the most vital talents if you want to make it big in life.

Then choose the best answer to each question that follows.(1) Johnny Appleseed, one of the gentlest and most beloved of American folk heroes, was born in 1774 in Leominster, Massachusetts. (2) His real name was John Chapman. (3) Chapman’s early life was full of misfortune. (4) First, his father left home to fight in the Revolutionary War. (5) Then John’s mother and baby brother d ied before John’s second birthday. (6) However, John’s fortunes improved when his father returned and remarried, and by the time John was in his teens, he had ten brothers and sisters.(7) As a young man, John began traveling west on foot, stopping to clear land and plant the apple seeds he always carried with him. (8) Settlers who followed John’s path were delighted to find young apple orchards dotting the landscape.(9) John was a friendly fellow who often stopped to visit with families along his way, entertaining them with stories of his travels. (10) Tales of his exploits followed him through Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Indiana. (11) Many of the stories were true. (12) For instance, John really did travel barefoot through the snow, lived on the friendliest of terms with Indian tribes, and refused to shoot any animal. (13) Other tales about John, however, were exaggerations. (14) Settlers said, for example, that he slept in the treetops and talked to the birds or that he had once been carried off by a giant eagle. (15) Johnny Appleseed never stopped traveling until his death in Fort Wayne, Indiana, in 1845.1) Sentence 1 is a statement of_______.A. factB. opinionC. fact and opinion2) The details in sentences 4 and 5 support the point or points in _______.A. sentence 1B. sentence 2C. sentence 3D. sentence 63) The relationship between sentences 3 and 6 is one of _______.A. contrastB. additionC. cause and effectD. comparison4) We can conclude that Johnny Appleseed _______.A. provided apples for numerous settlersB. was quickly forgotten by the settlersC. grew wealthy by selling his apple treesD. left home because of problems with his family5) The passage suggests that Johnny Appleseed _______.A. grew weary of travelingB. had great respect for other people and animalsC. lived a very short but rich lifeD. planted many trees other than apple trees6) The tone of the passage is _______.A. pessimisticB. bitter and impassionedC. amused and excitedD. straightforward with a touch of admiration7) Which is the most appropriate title for this selection?A. The Planting of American Apple OrchardsB. Folk Heroes of AmericaC. Settlers Recall Johnny AppleseedD. The Life and Legend of John Chapman5.Read the passage below. Then choose the best answer to each question that follows.(1) Television has transformed politics in the United States by changing the way in which information is disseminated, by altering political campaigns, and by changing citizens’ patterns of response to politics. (2) By giving citizens independent access to the candidates, television diminished the role of the political party in the selection of the major party candidates. (3) By centering politics on the person of the candidate, television accelerated the citizens’ focus on character rather than issues.(4)Television has altered the forms of political communication as well. (5) The messages on which most of us rely are briefer than they once were. (6) The stump speech, a political speech given by traveling politicians and lasting 11/2 to 2 hours, which characterized nineteenth-century political discourse, has given way to the 30-second advertisement and the 10-second “sound bite” in broad cast news. (7) Increasingly the audience for speeches is not that standing in front of the politician but rather the viewing audience who will hear and see a snippet of the speech on the news.(8) In these abbreviated forms, much of what constituted the traditional political discourse of earlier ages has been lost. (9) In 15 or 30 seconds, a speaker cannot establish the historical context that shaped the issue in question, cannot detail the probable causes of the problem, and cannot examine alternative proposals to argue that one is preferable to others. (10) In snippets, politicians assert but do not argue.(11) Because television is an intimate medium, speaking through it requires a changed political style that was more conversational, personal, and visual than that of the old-style stump speech. (12) Reliance on television means that increasingly our political world contains memorable pictures rather than memorable words. (13) Schools teach us to analyze words and print. (14) However, in a world in which politics is increasingly visual, informed citizenship requires a new set of skills.(15)Recognizing the power of television’s pictures, politicians craft televisual, staged events, called pseudo-event, designed to attract media coverage. (16) Much of the political activity we see on television news has been crafted by politicians, their speechwriters, and their public relations advisers for televised consumption. (17) Sound bites in news and answers to questions in debates increasingly sound like advertisements.1) What is the main idea of the passage?A. Citizens in the United States are now more informed about political issue because of television coverage.B.

Citizens today are less informed about a politician’s character than in the past.D. Political speeches today focus more on details about issues than in the past.Part III Read and QuestionIn this part, you will read about related or contradictory views on a variety of issues. You will be required to identify the writer’s position and evaluate the effectiveness of the writer’s arguments.Read the following two passages and answer the questions.Passage AWhile On the origin of Species created a great stir when it was published in 1859, Darwinian thought was almost completely out of vogue by the turn of the twentieth century. It took Ronald Fisher’s “Great Synthesis” of the 1920s, which combined the genetic work of Gregor Mendel with Darwin’s ideas about natural selection, and Theodosius Dobzhansky’s “Modern Synthesis” of the 1930s, which was built upon Fisher’s work with genetics within a species by focusing on how genetic variation could cause the origin of a new species, to begin to rehabilitate Darwin.Yet, what is remarkable is how very prescient Darwin, working without knowledge of the mechanisms of heredity, proved to be. As prominent biologist Ernst Mayr notes, what made Darwinian theory so remarkable was his emphasis on “population thinking”. This contrasts to Jean-Baptiste Lamarc k’s theory of evolution, popular throughout the nineteenth century, which posited that individuals changed personal actions and will. Lamarckian theory is often exemplified by a giraffe constantly reaching up to eat leaves off high branches and passing on its lengthened neck to its children.Su ch explanations bore a strong resemblance to children’s fables (and indeed Rudyard Kipling’s late-nineteenth-century Just So Stories was built upon Lamarckian theories). Where Darwin differed was his insistence that significant variation was not based within one particular individual, but rather in the breeding population as a whole. Natural selection was not based on the actions or goals of one individual, but variations in the average character of the species.Passage BAs Peter Bowler points out in his aptly named The Non-Darwinian Revolution: Reinterpreting a Historical Myth, nineteenth-century Darwinism was quite different from the Darwinism of today. Thomas Huxley, “Darwin’s Bulldog”, so called because of his tireless public campaigning for Darwinian thought, exemplifies this difference. As a result of his advocacy, by the end of the nineteenth century Huxley was the vehicle for Darwinian thought. Noted science fiction writer H. G. Wells, for instance, garnered all of his information about natural selection and evolution through Huxley’s lectures. Yet Huxley’s theory varied significantly from th at of Darwin, focusing on the will of humankind.In the preface to Evolution and Ethics, Huxley wrote that “We cannot do without our inheritance from the forefathers who were the puppets of the cosmic process; the society which renounces it must be destroyed from without. Still less can we do with too much of it; the society in which it dominates must be destroyed from within.” According to Huxley, humankind has moved past physical evolution to the realm of self-directed moral evolution. Huxley, then, acknowledges that humankind has evolved under the pre ssure of natural selection and must remain aware of the fact or be “destroyed from without”, but he argues that a society that continues in the path that Nature has placed it will be “destroyed from within” because it will no longer be adapted to itself.1) Based on the information in the passage, Rudyard Kipling most likely wrote stories ______.A. dedicated to enlightening humans by using animals as positive examples of proper behaviorB. based on futuristic worlds which were populated by evolved subjectsC. featuring individuals developing variation through the power of their desiresD. seeking to exhibit the effects of population thinking in breeding populationsE. portraying the effects of parental inheritance through examining the lives of children2) Which of the following best represents Huxley’s beliefs?A. Focusing on physical evolution leaves man as nothing more than a “puppet” of forces beyond his control; to succeed in life it is necessary to reject physical evolution in favor of moral change.B. The ideas of Charles Darwin needed to be carefully delineated through lectures so that his ideas about individual variation could be fully understood.C. By exerting personal will, humankind will be able to enact significant, lasting variation which will be demonstrated through the bodies of the children of those who seek change.D. While humankind is inescapably linked to its physical past and the material conditions of its evolution, it must be wary of being too attached to the path dictated by natural selection.E. Certain elements of Darwin’s theory about evolution had to be discarded so that the public would be willing to accept the thrust of the theory as a whole.3) Which of the following would the authors of Passage A and Passage B mostly likely agree to be most closely aligned in their thinking?A. Lamarck and Huxley.B. Kipling and Wells.C. Mayr and Bowler.D. Mendel and Huxley.E. Dobzhansky and Wells.4) Which of the following statements about Darwin is supported by both passages?A. Darwin differed significantly from other theorists of evolution because he focused on breeding populations as a whole.B. The modern understanding of Darwin varies significantly from nineteenth-century beliefs about his theories.C. It was not until the early twentieth century that Darwinism as we know it began to emerge.D. Fiction writers were particularly interested in disseminating ideas about Darwin.E. Delineating the specific inheritance of the child is crucial to understanding how natural selection proceeds.5) Which of the following best represents the difference between the two passages?A. The first passage begins with current understandings of Darwinism and moves back in time, while the second passage begins with older understanding and moves forward in time.B. While the first passage focuses on the difference between two theories of evolution, the second paragraph traces differences between two individual interpreters of evolution.C. The first passage introduces a general theory, offers specific evidence, and then considers the ramifications of that theory, while the second passage does not consider the ramifications of the evidence it represents.D. The first passage is concerned with demonstrating a way in which Darwin is closely linked with modern thinkers, while the second passage is focused on how he differed from one of his contemporaries.E. The first passage provides a historical retrospective of the primary interpreters of Darwin, and the second passage centers on one particular interpreter.6) Based on the information in Passage B, which of the following claims in Passage A would Thomas Huxley be most likely to object to?A. It is impossible to truly understand natural selection without the benefit of modern genetic theory.B. It is likely that the giraffe developed a long neck due to the fact that it constantly stretched it to gain access to food.C. There are different ways to understand how evolution functions to change individuals.D. Variations in the average character of a population are the most crucial factor in the proper evolution of man.E. Allowing natural selection to dominate our society will lead to the destruction of humankind.7) Which of the following situations is most closely analogous to the Lamarckian mode of variation?A. An adult bird tries to change the environment for the benefit of its children.B. Seeking to morally adapt to its environment, a chimpanzee changes the way it woos its mate.C. A giraffe’s bodily shape changes because it is unable to fit into the caves it traditionally sleeps in.D. Because of a change in the environment, a number of chimpanzees die out while others thrive and pass on their genes.E. Because it hunts for salmon with its mouth wide open, a bear gradually develops a straining mechanism between its teeth.Part IVRead and CreateIn this part, you will be required to write a short essay on a given topic based on your general reading. You should write with clarity, logic and creativity.1.Write an essay of about 200 words on one of the following topics.1) Hamlet is characterized by his melancholic mood and delay in action. Give a character analysis of Hamlet and list the possible reasons for his melancholy and delay.2) A Tale of Two Cities can be regarded as a historical novel, a moral novel and a novel strongly concerned with themes of resurrection, redemption and patriotism, as well as of guilt, shame and love. What is your understanding of the themes of the novel?2.Read the essay below. Answer one of the following questions by writing an essay of about 200 words.Of StudiesStudies serve for delight, for ornament, and for ability. Their chief use for delight, is in privateness and retiring; for ornament, is in discourse; and for ability, is in the judgment and disposition of business. For expert men can execute, and perhaps judge of particulars, one by one; but the general counsels, and the plots and marshalling of affairs come best from those that are learned. To spend too much time in studies is sloth; to use them too much for ornament is affection; to make judgment wholly by their rules is the humor of a scholar. They perfect nature and are perfected by experience: for natural abilities are like natural plants, that need pruning by study, and studies themselves do give forth directions too much at large, except they be bounded in by experience. Crafty men contemn studies, simple men admire them, and wise men use them, for they teach not their own use; but that is a wisdom without them and above them, won by observation. Read not to contradict and confuse; nor to believe and take for granted; nor to find talk and discourse; but to weigh and consider. Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested; that is some books are to be readonly in parts; others to be read, but not curiously; and some few to be ready wholly, and with diligence and attention. Some books also may be read by deputy and extracts made of them by others; but that would be only in the less important arguments, and the meaner sort of books; else distilled books are, like common distilled waters, flashy things.Reading makes a full man; conference a ready man; and writing an exact man. And therefore, if a man write little, he had need have a great memory; if he confer little, he had need have a present wit; and if he read little, he had need have much cunning to seem to know that he doth not. Histories make men wise; poets witty; the mathematics subtle; natural philosophy deep; moral grave; logic and rhetoric able to contend. Abeunt studia in mores. Nay there is no stond or impediment in the wit, but may be wrought out by fit studies: like as diseases of the body may have appropriate exercises. Bowling is good for the stone and reins; shooting for the lungs and breast; gentle walking for the stomach; riding for the head; and the like. So if a man’s wit be wandering, let him study the mathematics; for in demonstrations, if his wit be called away never so little, he must begin again. If his wit be not apt to distinguish or find differences, let him study the schoolmen; for they are cymini sectores. If he be not apt to beat over matters, and to call up one thing to prove and illustrate another, let him study the lawyers’ cases. So every defect of the mind may have a special receipt.1)We are now living in the age of “information explosion”. What lessons can we learn from Bacon’s “Of Studies” to access information”2)In what sense does reading make a full man?。

1What is the insight in which the scientist tries to see into nature? Can it indeed be called either imaginative or creative? To the literary man the question may seem merely silly. He has been taught that science is a large collection of facts; and if this is true, then the only seeing which scientists need to do is, he supposes, seeing the facts. He pictures them, the colorless professionals of science, going off to work in the morning into the universe in a neutral, unexposed state. They then expose themselves like a photographic plate. And then in the darkroom or laboratory they develop the image, so that suddenly and startlingly it appears, printed in capital letters, as a new formula for atomic energy.原译:什么是洞察力?科学家一直试图弄清它的本质。
广东省江门市2023-2024学年高三上学期调研测试英语试卷
广东省江门市2023-2024学年高三上学期调研测试英语试卷学校:___________姓名:___________班级:___________考号:___________一、阅读理解Four Peak District waterfall walksThe Peak District National Park offers beautiful scenery for hiking. One exciting attraction is the region’s waterfalls. We’ve picked out four of the most breathtaking waterfall walks; visit just one or tick off all of them as you discover the Peak District.Kinder DownfallIf there’s one Peak District waterfall that you must visit, it’s this one. Kinder Downfall is one of the best Great British waterfalls, where you can watch a 30-metrestream of water flowing from an open plateau at Kinder Scout. It’s best to schedule your visit after heavy rain when the waterfall is really in full force.Lumsdale FallsIf you feel like stepping back in time, take a trip to Lumsdale Falls. The area includes many 17th-century mill (磨坊) buildings which used to be powered by the nearby rivers, and the ancient ruins create a timeless atmosphere in the beautiful Lumsdale Valley.Padley GorgeThe journey to this waterfall has a charming, fairy-tale feel, making it perfect for a fun day out as a family. The walk is around an hour each way, but there are plenty of picnic spots where you can all refuel, as well as areas for little feet to safely paddle in the chilly water.Rivelin ValleyMake sure you pack your camera when you visit this waterfall in the Rivel in Valley, as it’s one of the most picturesque spots in the Peak District. Follow the nature trail through the woodland where you’ll find dams, reservoirs, streams and a series of very pretty waterfalls. 1.Which of the following best describes the atmosphere of Lumsdale Falls?A.Rural.B.Historic.C.Family-friendly.D.Dangerous. 2.Which waterfall walk is recommended for photography enthusiasts?A.Kinder Downfall.B.Lumsdale Falls.C.Padley Gorge.D.Rivelin Valley.3.Where can the text be found?A.In a travel guide.B.In a news article.C.In a historical document.D.In a scientific journal.My phone rang after I boarded a plane. It was my former PhD adviser calling to tell me a preprint had just been posted that identified imperfections in a paper we’d published in Nature. My stomach dropped as he told me the authors of the critique (评论) were demanding a retraction (撤回). I was overcome by a mix of emotions — disbelief, embarrassment, frustration — and wondering what this would mean for my career.I took out my laptop and logged on the airport WiFi to read the critique myself. It was unpleasant and thorough, pointing out several fundamental imperfections in our methods and the underlying data, which we’d gathered from other studies.The fallout was swift and intense. I received a flood of emails and messages. Some were from supportive colleagues, while others were critical of our work. As the first author of the paper and the person who had done all of the data analysis, I felt deeply embarrassed by the criticism.We wrote a draft response, correcting the apparent errors in the data set and defending our methods. However, after receiving feedback from peer reviewers, we decided against publishing our response.When it became clear that the retraction was unavoidable, I formally offered my resignation to my department head. He didn’t accept it, saying a resignation wasn’t needed considering the errors in the paper were honest mistakes.The experience helped me grow as a scientist. I learned that it is better to be open and accountable, even if it means admitting mistakes. I can’t expect myself to know everything as a scientist and my work will be stronger if I seek out diverse expertise and opinions.In the end, the reality is that retractions are a necessary part of the scientific process — and one that shouldn’t be viewed only through a negative lens. Retractions can also be an opportunity to learn and improve. Honest mistakes happen, and researchers should be encouraged, not punished, for doing the right thing and retracting imperfect work.4.What news did the author get after boarding the plane?A.His career might be influenced by his paper.B.His research paper would be published soon.C.Some mistakes were found in his published paper.D.His adviser demanded that he should retract his paper.5.What does the underlined word “fallout” in Para. 3 mean?A.Consequence.B.Answer.C.Pain.D.Shame. 6.Why was the author’s resignation refused?A.He had a good reputation of honesty.B.He didn’t make mistakes intentionally.C.He had corrected his mistakes in the paper.D.His response was against by peer reviewers.7.What lesson did the author learn from his experience?A.Retractions can be a chance to learn.B.Scientists had better know everything.C.Honest mistakes are necessary in science.D.Admitting mistakes is really embarrassing.A computer model created by researchers can detect ChatGPT-generated fake studies with great accuracy, a new study shows. This implies that although the artificial intelligence(AI)chatbot ChatGPT may be a decent imitator of human workers in several fields, scientific research is not one of them.In the new study, published June 7 in the journal Cell Reports Physical Science, researchers created a new computer learning program to tell the differences between real scientific papers and fake examples written by ChatGPT. The scientists trained the program to identify key differences between 64 real studies published in the journal Science and 128 papers created by ChatGPT using the same 64 papers as a prompt.The team then tested how well their model could distinguish between a group of real papers and ChatGPT-generated papers, which included 60 real papers from the journal Science and 120 AI-generated papers. The program marked the AI-written papers more than 99%of the time and could correctly tell the differences between human-written and chatbot-written paragraphs 92%of the time.ChatGPT-generated papers differed from human text in four key ways: paragraph complexity, sentence-level diversity in length, punctuation marks and “popular words”. For example, human authors write longer and more complex paragraphs, while the AI papers used punctuation that is not found in real papers, such as exclamation marks.Creating computer programs to tell real papers from AI-generated ones is importantbecause previous studies have hinted that humans may not be as good at spotting the differences and AI is still capable of fooling some humans with its science writing.The researchers of the new study say they are pleased that their program is effective at weeding out fake papers but warn it is only a proof of concept. Much more wide-scale studies are needed to create better models that are even more reliable and can be trained to specific scientific disciplines to maintain the integrity of the scientific method.8.Which of the following statements may be true according to the passage?A.Paragraphs created by ChatGPT are shorter and easier.B.Every human behaviour can be imitated by ChatGPT.C.AI-generated papers can be correctly recognized by humans.D.Humans are better at telling real papers from AI-generated ones.9.What does the figures in Para.3 indicate?A.The complexity of the test.B.The importance of AI-generated papers.C.The effectiveness of the computer model.D.A perfect match between AI-generated papers and real papers.10.What may be the the researchers’ attitudes towards the computer program?A.Favorable.B.Pessimistic.C.Skeptical.D.Cautious. 11.What does the author mainly talk about in the text?A.The application of ChatGPT in paper writing.B.A computer program to identify.AI-generated papers.C.The difference between AI-generated papers and real papers.D.Possibility for ChatGPT to create convincing scientific papers.You scroll through Instagram and like every post you see. You read an acquaintance’s story as soon as they post it. You leave a comment on a post or two. Then it hits you: Didn’t you just leave a comment on that person’s post yesterday? And the day before that? And last week?An Instagram creep is someone who offers unprompted significant attention online to certain individuals they’ve taken an interest in. It is a strategy to send a signal of affection -whether it is to a romantic partner, or a close friend, but it can also be perceived as being too much, too interested and too involved. At worst, it might be seen as being possessive, as the personabsolutely has to be the first to comment, to establish his importance in front of others.However, not every Instagram creep has the same intentions, with some lighthearted and innocent. “For example, people who have a higher frequency of being online may have a higher likelihood of seeing the posts quickly, “said Maryanne Fisher, a psychology professor at St.Mary’s University in Canada. “In a way, it could be simply an exposure effect.”“If you feel like you’re the creeper, there’s a quick way to fix the problem. Resisting the urge to comment or like every post would be helpful,” Fisher said. It’s important to be aware that while you might be doing it to express affection, it can be perceived as being possessive. You should ask yourself what your intention is. What need is getting met by that behavior? If it makes the recipient feel uncomfortable and excessive, that should be attended to. If it’s a pattern and if it’s a “need”, then there might be something more significant going on.All told, remember that anything you put on the Internet has consequences. If you think you’re being creepy even for a second, take time to separate yourself from it.12.Who is likely to be an Instagram creep?A.An old man unfamiliar with social media.B.A young guy having a preference for a certain brand.C.A woman having a tendency to talk online with friends.D.An adult who is paying special attention to his friend’s Instagram update. 13.What is Para.3 of the text mainly about?A.Ways to fix the problem.B.Effects on the recipients.C.Possible reasons for being creepy.D.Differences between serious and lighthearted creepers.14.What effect might a creeper have on the person being “creeped”on?A.The person likes the behaviour.B.The person wasn’t aware of that.C.The person might not feel at ease.D.The person might feel like the creeper.15.What does the author want to express in this passage?A.Less is more.B.Look before you leap.C.Love me,love my dog.D.Put the cart before the horse.二、七选五Self-confidenceHaving a healthy level of self-confidence is important to your health and well-being. It can help you become more successful in your personal and professional life. 16 . Fortunately, there are several ways you can boost your self-confidence.Remind yourself of your good qualities.Take some time to think about or write down the skills, personality traits, and qualities that you like about yourself. 17 . For example, you might love that you’re compassionate and great at sports, or you might be proud that you’re fiercely loyal to your friends. This way you can remind yourself whenever you’re feeling down.Silence your inner critic. By constantly thinking that you can’t achieve things, you’ll start to believe it. Pay attention to the negative thoughts and put a stop to them. It might help to write down the negative thoughts you have. Then, read through them to find where they’re coming from. 18 .Don’t let mistakes stop you. Instead of beating yourself up for mistakes, focus on what you learned from the experience or what you’d do differently next time, and keep going.19 . You might mentally tell yourself that you messed up on that test, but now you know what to study for next time.Remember, it’s not an easy road to build more confidence. You’re not going to be the most confident person by tomorrow 20 . So rather than waste time worrying that you aren’t good enough, devote to your efforts. Ultimately, you’ll perform better in the long run.A.It’s a process that will take time.B.Get out your journal or diary and make a list.C.Try to stop the source of these harmful thoughts.D.However, not everyone feels confident in themselves.E.You can find ways to join clubs that you’re passionate about.F.If you’re used to lowering your head, push yourself to raise your hand in class.G.Being afraid to make mistakes can stop you from learning and growing, so embrace them.三、完形填空Many quarterbacks in the playoffs (季后赛) went through lots of adversity throughout their careers.

Training and Practice for English for Academic PurposesPart I1.Discuss the following questions.What are basic principles the researchers must try to follow when they write their research papers? And would you please list some deadly sins a researcher must avoid when they want to publish a research paper? What are the main contents of a research paper?2. Translate the following Chinese introduction into English.提高起重机生产力和安全性的设备研究近些年来,就用研究人员对起重机(crane)的研究兴趣与日俱增。
起重机种类繁多,从樱桃采摘机(cherry pickers)到巨型塔式起重机(huge tower cranes) ,是建筑工地不可或缺的重要设备之一。
由于建筑用起重机工作环境多变(constantly changing working environment), 操作者(operator)责任重大(heavy reliance)。
过去几十年里,超重机技术日新月异,但是操作员与其他工种人员配合协作方面的技术发展缓慢。
起重机的发展步伐如此迅猛,我们似乎要问,在某些方面,是不是已经超出(outstrip)了人们安全使用的能力?本文旨在探讨如何通过新型设备的引进提高起重机生产力以及提出相关安全性的举措,进而为新型起重机的应用和案例提供新的思路。
In recent years, researchers have become more interested in crane research.The variety of cranes, from cherry pickers to giant tower cranes, is one of the most important equipment on construction sites.As a result of the changing working environment of the construction crane, operator is responsible for heavy reliance.Over the past few decades, the technology of overweight machines has been changing rapidly, but the operators have been slow to cooperate with other workers in collaboration.The pace of development of cranes is so rapid that we seem to be asking whether in some respects, the outstrip has exceeded the ability of people to safely use it.This paper aims to explore how to improve crane productivity and raise related security measures through the introduction of new equipment, so as to provide new ideas for the application and case of new cranes.3. You are writing a research paper entitled “The Effects of Radiation from the Sun on Life o n Earth”. In your introduction you need to review, in general terms, how the sun supports life on the earth.

What did Jacobs realize as the associate editor?A. Revitalization had to come with a price.B. Urban planning cared little about people.C. It was hard to do urban planning projects.D. It was useful to report on development projects.5. What's the purpose of Jacobs' writing Downtown Is for People?A. She accused the approach to redeveloping New York.B.

What can be learned about The Death and Life of Great American Cities?A. It was thought highly of by many.B. It established her reputation.C. It was an attack on big cities.D. It made her a great fortune.7. What did Jacobs achieve as an activist in Greenwich VillageA. She built many high rises.B. She designed an expressway.C. She made a difference to city planning.D. She launched many campaigns to seize power.CFrom wearing a lucky pair of socks to following family traditions,rituals(仪式)are embedded in our everyday lives.Rituals are central to actually all of our social institutions.They are held by the army,governments and companies,in parades or ceremonies.They areused by athletes who always wear the same socks for important games.As we study rituals in a humanistic and scientific way,even if people perform those rituals without a clear purpose,or even when they do have a purpose,there is no particular causal(因果的)connection between the actions they take and that purpose.For example,when I perform a rain ritual,there is no connection between my movements and water falling from the sky.But even so,just because ritual does not have any direct causal effect on the world,itdoes not mean that it has no effect on the world at all.In fact,rituals have very importantfunctions in human societies.They help individuals through their anxieties;they help groupsof people connect to one another;they help people find meaning in their lives.In fact,even rituals that seem to be painful,stressful,or dangerous have measurablefunctions for people who perform them.For example,in the context of a fire walking ritual in Spain,we found that during this ritual,people's heart rates synchronized(同步).This wasnot just an effect of people moving at the same time—their heart rates would synchronize nomatter what they were doing at the same time:walking on fire or just watching it.What happened was that people started either adapting traditional ceremonies or creatingnew ceremonies.That's like what we saw when people in big cities came out on their balconiesand started banging pots and pans together,in a show of solidarity(团结).8. What does the underlined word"embedded"mean in paragraph 1?A. Be sound asleep.B. Be deeply rooted.C. Be easily noticeable.D. Be additionally needed.9. What do we know about rituals that people perform with a clear purpose?A. They don't have any causal effect that can be measured.B. They help people with what they want to achieve.C. They don't play a role in human societies.D. They help people take effective actions.10. Why does the author mention the fire walking ritual?A. To explore the meaning of the ritual.B. To prove some rituals are dangerous.C. To invite people to learn more about the ritual.D. To show rituals influence those attending them.11. In which part of a magazine can we probably read the text?A. Education.B. Science.C. Culture.D. Travel.DConsumers around the world could be wasting more than twice as much food as thought,according to an analysis that says previous figures have been underestimated.The Food and Agriculture Organization(FAO)claims that around a third of food is lost or wasted.Its report is considered to have played a key part in fo od waste reduction becoming one of the UN's Sustainable Development Goals."The problem is much worse than we think.We have to wake up.I hope it's a wakeup call,"says Monika Verma from Wageningen University in the Netherlands.She and her teamtook an unusual approach to calculate global food waste.Due to a shortage of comparable national data o n such waste around the world,,they comparedhow much food is produced—based on UN data on its availability—with how much is eaten,as calculated by the energy people need to consume and World Health Organization(WHO)data on body mass from 66 countries.Then they used World Bank data to factor in affluence(富裕).This suggests that an average person wastes 527 kilo calories a day.That is about one-fifth of the 2,500 kilo calories the average man needs to maintain a healthy body weight,according to the UK's National Health Service,or a quarter of the daily recommended intake fora woman.The previous FAO estimate came to only 214 kilocalories a day.Verma has found that food waste starts to become a serious issue once people reach a total spending power of ﹩6.70 a day.She says the work shows the importance of looking at different consumer attributes(属性)."Food waste is a luxury when you're poor;it's not whenyou're richer.The value of food goes down as you get richer."There are limitations to the new analysis.It only covers 67 percent of the world popula-tion and doesn' t draw on data from some big food-wasting countries,including the US.TheFAO says the research provides new perspectives(视角),but should be viewed as part of abody of literature.Andrea Cattaneo at the FAO has some doubts about the results,such asJapan coming out as a country that wastes lots of food,which he says"is unlikely to reflect the reality."Verma says the biggest assumption the new analysis makes is that poorer countries willdevelop the same way as richer ones did in the past.That risks a"brewing potential future problem"of even more food waste,she and her colleagues warn.12. What problem arose while Verma and her team were calculating food waste?A. There wasn't full access to UN data.B. There wasn't the same body mass standard.C. There wasn't the total amount of food production.D. There wasn't national-level data that could be compared.13. Which aspect of consumer attributes does Verma's analysis focus on?A. Their health status.B. Their living standards.C. Their opinions of food value.D. Their frequency of food shopping.14. In what way is Verma's analysis weakened?A. It doesn't point out potential future problems.B. It doesn't draw on reliable data from the WHO.C. It doesn't take some rich countries into account.D. It doesn't pay enough attention to poor countries.15. What is the main purpose of this text?A. To report a research result.B. To explain a rare phenomenon.C. To give an introduction to the FAO.D. To show how to reduce food waste.二、阅读七选五(本大题共5小题,共分)Perspective plays a role in literature.When writers tell a story,they do so through a narrator(叙述者).That's the character who describes what's happening in a book,play orother types of story.Readers tend to trust the narrator.(1)But is that always the case?No,it's not!Often,the narrator is influenced by their own perspective.They may not tell the whole story.They may even be dishonest.Because of this,they become an unreliable narrator.Unreliable narrators are most common in stories told from the first person point of view.(2)In first person point of view,the narrator will use words like"I","me"and"we".In some cases,the character telling the story is simply dishonest.The narrator may behiding something,such as their own mistakes.In other stories,the narrator may be unreliable without being dishonest.This can happen when the character doesn't have all the informationthey need.It could mean that the narrator is quite young.(3)A narrator can also be unreliable if the story they tell is heavily influenced by their own perspective.For example,a character with a strong bias may leave some facts of a story out.(4)Why would a writer use an unreliable narrator?They may do so to push the reader to dig deeper into the story.(5)Imagine finding out at the end of a book that the narrator has been dishonest.It can make for quite the plot twist!A.Each character has a unique perspective.B.That means the narrator is part of the story.C.It can also give a story the element of surprise.D.Unreliable narrators also show up outside of literature.E.They believe this character must be telling them the truth.F.They may also lack experience of the topic they're talking about.G.They may do so to make the story better fit their own worldview.16.

In the constructivist approach to learning, the learner’s ideas and conceptions prior to instruction are seen as important prerequisites for learning.According to the view of constructivists, a person's ideas will survive school education and form an important basis for new learning.在建构主义学习方法中,学习者在教学之前的想法和概念被视为学习的重要先决条件。
